About This Home

As of November 2017

Old California comes to life in this truly enchanting Montecito Heights bungalow. Built in 1923, it is both carefully preserved and tastefully upgraded. From its white picket fence laced with mature Iceberg roses, spectacular collection-quality original light fixtures, sophisticated kitchen featuring marble countertops, farm sink and shaker-style cabinetry, to the garage converted into creative space currently used as a music studio, this home is beyond special. Light-filled with gleaming hardwood floors, creamy plaster walls, and original moldings both living and dining rooms are spacious and airy. Wide French doors in the breakfast area open to the lovely covered patio creating an outdoor room with views and scents from the professionally landscaped back-yard abundant withfruit trees and flowers. Also prominent are many drought tolerant plantings and a darling sandbox and play area; California indoor/outdoor life-style at its best. The garage has been converted to a creative space for your office/studio/or playroom and qualifies for conversion to an accessory dwelling unit. Property is within the Highland Park HPOZ. Homes this special are rarely available. Not to be missed!''
